Description

The Cox-William House, built in 1890, is the largest and most elaborate example of late Victorian residential architecture on the water grade level of the historic river district. Featuring a hipped roof with bracketed eaves, a spacious verandah adorned with turned posts and scroll-sawn brackets, and elongated double-hung sash windows, it exemplifies the Italianate style. Individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and a significant property to the Riverfront District since 1984, the home was relocated from an adjacent lot in 1912. Zoned for both commercial and residential use, the property is situated in the heart of the Historic Riverfront Plaza District on two city lots, offering exceptional potential for a variety of opportunities amidst a vibrant downtown setting.
